The possibility to work and develop locally on one's own local hardware, either laptop, desktop or server should be pursued actively as it allows a full control of the system (you often cannot get a full privileges/​root access on somebody else's machine) and ultimately leads to a development of system administration ​skylls ​that are difficult to develop as a mere guest user. Having full control is more difficult, because, especially at the beginning some tasks, such as for example apache configuration,​ might seem complicated and will take a fair amount of time. On the long run however, this means having full control of your environment and a more aware and skilled user. We encourage you to select the hard path of taking full control in your hands, it will pay.
